"There definitely is somebody starting fires at the sawmill,” said Wellington Fire Chief Matt Perea in response to a fire Sunday night – the second call of the evening for the fire department. The first call came in just after 5:00 p.m. for a structure fire at 5633 South Upper Miller Creek Road. Chief Perea said that fire was accidental and resulted from a stove fire. The homeowner thought the fire was extinguished and opened the windows to let the smoke clear out, then left for town. The fire flared up again and spread to a garbage can before a passerby saw the smoke and called it in. Firefighters had the fire out “pretty quick,” but the home sustained smoke and water damage.
